Create localized django app and use the localization from other app - python-3.x

Question

I have the following problem:
I created a Django app (app1) and then installed it in other one (app2). Now I'm trying to make the internationalization of the site, but I want to be able to use the installed app translations and I cannot even compile them.
Some useful information:
APP 1
.

APP 2 (the one that has APP 1 installed)

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'app1.apps.App1SiteConfig',
'app2.apps.App2SiteConfig',
]
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es'
LANGUAGES = (
('en-us', _('English')),
('es', _('Spanish')),
('pt', _('Portuguese'))
)
LOCALE_PATHS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "app2", "locale"),
)
Basically, the desired TODOs are:
compile the .mo's from App1
use the App1 transalations (it has its own templates and models so ideally they would be used there)
What I don't want:
compile the App1 .mo's from django-admin of App2 and then translate it there.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Well.. finally I managed to solve this by my way..
With the virtualenv activated I moved to App1 dir and executed django-admin compilemessages, the .mo's has been created in the right path (app1/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/django.mo) and they're able to be used from the site.
